Cooking dinner
Just finished preparing and eating dinner with my family. Its the first time we have all had dinner together in a couple of months. Broad bean and prosciutto soup to start, roast lamb with roast vegetables, steamed brocolli, gravy and homemade mint sauce as our main and then chocolate pudding with cream and berry coulis for dessert. A sav blanc - Cape Jaffa with entree and a cab sav - Bleasdale to accompany.
I love to plan, cook and enjoy a meal with my family. I've denied such inclinations for a long time....independent, hard-ass career girl and all that jazz but while I love a good spar, the domestic can be bliss.
My sister and I reminisced about our childhood antics and there was a lot of shouting and talking over each other. From time to time we all gang up on mum for good measure and then make fun of dad.
Mum skived off dishes, we argued about buying a dishwasher, Dad, sis n I sang songs from Camelot and then....I left to housesit for a month. Peace and independence can be bliss too!
